Videos from the Cell lines in the 21st century symposium
In January 2024, we organized in Lausanne (Switzerland) a symposium entitled Cell lines in the 21st century: challenges and opportunities for reproducible research where 10 renowned international experts came to give presentations to various initiatives, online resources, databases, and innovative techniques developed to ensure the proper handling of cell lines. Here are the videos of these presentations.
- Bairoch, Amos (SIB, Switzerland): Cellosaurus: the cell line encyclopedia
- Bandrowski, Anita (SciCrunch, USA): RRIDs: what are they good for?
- Bols, Niels (University of Waterloo, Canada): Animal cell lines can be considered to have ante factum and post factum properties
- Capes-Davis, Amanda (CellBank, Australia): What do 66 years of publications on cross-contaminated and misidentified cell lines teach us about today's biomedical research?
- Dirks, Wilhelm (DSMZ, Germany): Next generation cell banking
- Kondo Tadashi (NCC, Japan): Patient-derived sarcoma cell lines for pharmaco-proteogenomics
- Kurtz, Andreas (Fraunhofer IBMT, Germany): hPSCreg: the human pluripotent stem cell registry
- van der Valk, Jan (3Rs Center, Netherlands): Cell and tissue culture: Let's not make the same mistakes we make in animal experiments
- Wurm, Florian (ExcellGene, Switzerland): History, science and technology of CHO cells: from early genetics to tons of therapeutic proteins
- Almeida, Jamie (NIST, USA): Standards needed in mouse cell line authentication [Note: due to technical problems, the video is not available, we thus provide the PDF of the presentation]
